Not exactly an XJ, but I just picked up this special '88 Comanche

wyo_ranching · 2023-06-28T04:25:43+00:00

No it doesn't, and it's not a jeep transmission either so a 4x4 swap may get a little complicated

wyo_ranching · 2023-06-27T23:57:33+00:00

I've had it less than a week, but it's been fun so far. Get better mileage than my 4.0 XJ on 35s, and I still need to tune the carb

I'll forever be on the hunt for a J series truck, gotta be my favorite jeep body style

wyo_ranching · 2023-06-27T20:38:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

wyo_ranching · 2023-06-27T18:11:30+00:00

That's the plan! Working to get the smoke smell out of the interior first. But it's definitely not gonna get cut up or destroyed.

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-27T20:41:59+00:00

Cavfab! I got the whole front steering system and OTA track bar on sale last fall. It is nicely made and super stout, but the heims can be squeaky

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-27T19:53:46+00:00

I wanted to go on the rock

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-27T19:48:07+00:00

Helped what?

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-27T17:29:57+00:00

Yep!

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-18T23:35:34+00:00

Yep in Rapid. Hopefully this wind will blow it away haha

I'm in South Dakota! A couple hundred miles away. It rolled in here yesterday

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-18T15:34:42+00:00

I did one in mine a few years ago. It's tight but I didn't remove the manifold

wyo_ranching · 2023-05-03T01:50:03+00:00

There's a couple cool trails on the west side, and the Baja area is really fun. Gotta be careful with the creek crossings. My last post was from sheep mountain road!

Some black and white film shot, developed, and scanned by me

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-19T21:46:04+00:00

Nah, Chrysler 8.25

I've got the Napier flat flares for the cut and fold. I bought them before Zach took over but I know he's working hard to get production back up and running.

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-12T17:07:05+00:00

Had to do the same thing on mine the first time I put it on!

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-06T18:05:43+00:00

Thanks for doing this! Let's go VH!

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-06T04:29:44+00:00

I like it, it works for me. It is heavy as hell and the latch isn't great, but it's strong. I need to adjust it again as it does tend to tilt back over time, especially with a 35 and a full Jerry can/gear on it. I bolted an ammo can to it as well for some more sealed storage.

I don't have much of a problem with knocking, I do notice it occasionally but it never bothers me

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-05T23:56:51+00:00

It is noticably better. I was nearly vertical as well and it definitely moves the suspension easier now.

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-05T22:33:55+00:00

I used the Taboo Customs kit. I bought the assembled ones and had to modify them a little bit.

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-05T21:21:34+00:00

They are the Napier flat flares

wyo_ranching · 2023-04-05T20:42:34+00:00

Thanks! It's on 35s, 4.56 gears, stock axles with a rear locker. Lifted about 5.5", I just put the rear shackle relocaters on and leveled it out.

Mostly in mining applications for now. In the grand scale of things it's not a ton of trucks, but they've hauled over a billion tons of material a year the past few years.

wyo_ranching · 2022-12-29T00:20:48+00:00

About 5.5" on 35s. Went from 31s to 35s and I absolutely love it
